Exceptional Oriental Rug Cleaning in Dallas, TX
Oriental Rug Cleaning in Dallas, TX Done with the Care These Pieces Deserve
Area and oriental rugs are more than just a floor covering in your Dallas, TX home. Many of these rugs contain amazing craftsmanship from artisans who can take up to months to create a single rug by hand. Some are passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms, while others have been purchased as an investment to your home. Regardless of the rug’s history, all of them are made of delicate fibers that require special care when it comes to cleaning.
At Perfect Carpet and Oriental Rug Cleaning in Dallas, rug care is one of the two specialties that we offer. We have dedicated considerable time to learning the differences between the different types of rugs to ensure that each rug that comes into our shop is cleaned in the way that will do the most good for its longevity. If you live in the Dallas area and would like rug cleaning services performed by trustworthy oriental rug cleaning in Dallas professionals, please do not hesitate to find us online.
Why Oriental and Area Rugs Cannot Be Treated Like Wall to Wall Carpet
One of the most important aspects of rug care is understanding why oriental and area rugs cannot be treated the same as wall to wall carpets.
Wall to wall carpets are created with synthetic fibers that can stand up to the chemical treatments that are used to clean them. Oriental rugs, however, are typically made of wool, silk, cotton or a blend of natural fibers that react differently to chemicals. Additionally, the dyes that are used on many of these rugs are also natural dyes that can react to the chemical treatments to change color. Finally, the way that rugs are constructed has an impact on how they are cleaned as well. Hand knotted rugs have a foundation that is essential to their construction, and soaking them in water improperly can weaken that foundation over time. Machine made rugs have other construction considerations that need to be considered during the oriental rug cleaning in Dallas process.
Putting an oriental or area rug through the same process as a synthetic carpet is the best way to damage your rug. Many of our customers have called us out of concern for their rugs after they experienced damage from another rug cleaning company. We want to ensure that does not happen to you.
What We Look at Before We Begin Any Oriental Rug Cleaning In Dallas
Every rug that comes into our shop gets looked at very carefully prior to any of the oriental rug cleaning in Dallas processes being performed on it.
Rug fibers can be wool, silk, cotton or a blend of natural fibers. Natural fibers have different sensitivities to rug cleaning processes than synthetic carpet fibers. Additionally, rugs also have different colorfastness with natural dyes and synthetic dyes. We will test a small part of the rug to ensure that the color will not change as a result of the oriental rug cleaning in Dallas process. The way that the rug is constructed also has an impact on the rug cleaning process. For instance, rugs that are hand knotted have a foundation that needs to be respected during the rug drying process. Finally, the state of the rug as it is received will also have an impact on the oriental rug cleaning in Dallas process. Fringes that are brittle, rugs with brittle backing, or rug fibers that were damaged prior to coming to Perfect Carpet and Oriental Rug Cleaning will affect the way in which we treat your rug prior to completing the rug cleaning.
Our Oriental Rug Cleaning in Dallas Process from Start to Finish
After we evaluate your rug and determine that we can treat it in a way that will do the most good for its fibers, foundation and longevity, we can begin the rug cleaning process.
First, we will remove the dry soil from the rug. Dry soil accumulates in the foundation of the rug over time. Removing this soil prior to the rug getting wet will allow the oriental rug cleaning in Dallas process to be more effective. After that, we will treat the rug to the appropriate rug cleaning solution based on the rug’s fiber type. We will clean the rug carefully and pay special consideration to the rug’s fringe since that is an area that commonly gets stained. We will rinse the rug to remove any residue from the rug cleaning solution since residue tends to attract soil to rugs after it has been treated with the rug cleaning solution. Finally, when rugs are wet they will smell bad and get sticky so we will allow the rug to dry properly in a way that will prevent any odor or sticking issues from developing during the rug drying process.
After the rug is dry we will perform one final inspection of the rug to ensure the rug meets the standard that both we and you require for rug appearance after the oriental rug cleaning in Dallas process.
Stains, Odors, and the Honest Conversation We Always Have
As with all rug stains that we treat, the cause of the stain has a big impact on how effective our stain treatments can be. Stains caused by substances like pet urine, wine spills, oil based stains or food will require different treatments than others. Additionally, not all rug stains can be completely removed. The effectiveness of rug stain treatments can be impacted by the type of stain and how long it has been on the rug. For instance, old stains caused by substances like urine or food will have a much harder time being completely removed from the rug than new stains. When stains are treated we will be upfront and honest with you about the effectiveness of the treatments.
Rug odors are often caused by the same substances as stains. In most rugs the odor can become embedded into the rug’s fiber and foundation. Only by treating the rug from foundation to pile can we ensure the odor is neutralized rather than just masked.
